Brave 'shadowy' browser asks for tips on behalf of content creators without their consent
#####
It is allegedly seeking suggestions from content creators as BAT without their consent. Brave browser hit the Internet with its feature of rewarding users with basic attribution token [BAT] to use the browser, but it is now in the headlines. In which his face and name were used to collect suggestions / donations without having to select it. This is Tom Scott, a popular British You-Tuber who took on Twitter to share his concerns about the matter.
If they ever decided to change this pattern, then it would be made "clear". This Scott said on his official Twitter handle that he has never asked for crowd funding on any platform.
## He continued:
> Without crying my consent, using cryptocurrencies for my name and photo. This warning is given by a company named Brave. He said that we will see what we can do and its refunds are impossible. He told them that they should not donate to anyone and neither should they return.
It was being collected that the content creators including themselves would not be reached and the brave team decided to keep it. In addition, Scott has described these donations and tips.
## In addition, Scott tweeted:
> This tweet's barrage has been sent by Tom Scott, in which the coin of privacy has attracted the attention of Ricardo Spagni aka fluffy pony of the face behind Monero. This person on who has talking person stopped responding to the email.
He asked Brave how to keep and give profiles on the untold number of people is donation for them without consent with GDPR.
This spaghetti agreed with Scott at this point and tweeted that it was a "scary behavior". Spagni said:
> Spagni said that when it was argued that the Brave XRP's tip was similar to the bot. It is deliberately designed to deceive users into thinking that they are donating to the person. End of story
A member of his brave, Sampson tweeted. It seems brave that the content creator is urging for tips, even doing so to grab the metadata from your site. It a tipbot does not do this on twitter.
Tom's response to this is very useful due to anonymity because it is non-refundable. They are going to make changes; its title is displayed, which is in the case of name / name. This quite a tipping banner is not shown to those who want to support a property. Property image often favicon
